You obviously had a smooth journey back then Francis - that was quick! Good to see you again, albeit briefly. SoH on top form I thought. Steve being the consummate front man as ever. He didn't annoy me in the least by using a lyric sheet for a new song ( ). Mr Beer did some good guitar face (especially on slide), some marvellous mandolin face, some fantastic fiddle face, but best of all I enjoyed his cracking cuatro face. Miranda had an even wackier haircut than the last time I saw SoH, but played and sang beautifully in spite of it - she really does add a huge amount to the band sound. Support act Megan Henwood (who will be familiar to followers of the Fylde Newsletter) was v good I thought, though Mrs O'C was less keen. She has some well written songs with interesting lyrics and choons which she put across well. Lovely guitar sound, though with some slightly awkward flatpick to fingerstyle changes within the same song, she might benefit from having a bash at hybrid picking, or even finger strumming for those songs. Not easy being the opening act on the first night of a tour, and though a little nervous at first she soon got into her stride and acquitted herself v well. A grand night out! Keith

Excellent stuff. We get to see 'em later this month at the Royal Northern College of Music. Heather invited them to visit the historic music collection the college has last year - but forgot to get any photos. They've accepted an invitation again so hopefully...

While I'm glad you guys really enjoyed the gig, I'm more than a little jealous Miranda...

Smugly.. We have seats for the last night of the tour at Exmouth Pavilions in December.. Probably they'll be completely "toured out" and not at their best.. Then again...
